lyrics

On the border of the delta lived a solitary man
Who laid his hand on his Bible and swore he’d never drink again
It took him 45 seconds to finish another round
It took him one whole hour to lay with his face down

He was sent out to serve in 1945
To the Tinian Island were he maintained a B-29
It was a pitch black night at 02:45
Twelve men and one Little Boy took their flight to the sky

It’s all gone he said
As the code turned to red
And the drop from a plane is 53 seconds away
For a solitary man
For a solitary man

He left the war with his thoughts on Enola Gay
Came back to the states, where everything had gone away
The war took his will and his friend took his better half
Nothing left but the bottle, and the faith that he never had
For a solitary man
For a solitary man
